Music Makes More Milk

agency: Tribal DDB | brand: BC Dairy Association | technology: Flash, PHP
For this contest site, TribalDDB created a user experience in which users could create a song that cows would listen to while getting milked.

The core of the app takes multiple mp3 streams, mixes them down to a flat audio file (synced precisely to the user-created sequence), then outputs a downloadable MP3 file. Visit site

Rogers Picnic Photo Installation

agency: Tangible Interaction | brand: Rogers | technology: Processing
A capture application was written using Processing and Movino, which allowed staff to walk around the event with a Nokia N95 to film short video clips of concert-goers. The phone connected in real time via Bluetooth to the kiosk where users' clips played back in a 3d field. At the end of the event, all of the clips were played back on the main stage. Images float around in a 3d cloud, eventually coming together to form a logo.

agency: Cossette East | brand: McDonald's | technology: Flash
